New iMacs will use the G5 : Comment 2 of 7ANN.lu
Posted by Seehund on 15-Jul-2004 12:06 GMT
Last quarter, Apple sold 243,000 i+eMacs, 240,000 iBooks, 173,000 PowerMacs, and 220,000 PowerBooks. Amiga-logic tells us that the best thing for AmigaOS and its potential sales is to only make it available bundled with more expensive, older, slower and less equipped hardware without any relevant previous market presence, on an artificially created de facto monopoly market which seems to be rather saturated after more than 2 years of sales and 500 - 1000 (?) shifted units. So why is this news item on ANN? Looking at technological progress in the rest of the tech universe can't be good for morale...

:P

As for the alternatives, MOS/Genesi are like MacOS/Apple and have their own (supposedly) money-making hardware, so it'll be a cold day in hell when MOS is available for Macs (OTOH, I saw that Doom III has gone gold, so Mr. Lucifer might want to put on a cardigan). AROS progress on x86 is slow as it is, without branching to PPC and getting "all" those x86 apps ported/recompiled.
